At some point the printing presses need to be shut down and people come to realize the role of government is not to provide a person a lifestyle but to insure a level playing field, health, national security, and opportunity to realize the benefits of one’s talents and hard work. Regretfully, government both on the federal, and state side, has evolved into becoming a self perpetuating machine focused on furthering their own self interests at taxpayer expense. Both parties are focused on power, delivering the bacon, with a blind eye toward addressing the core issue that you can not spend or tax yourself into prosperity. Regretfully the notion that we can continue to barrow and spend rules the day, until of course when no one wishes to underwrite Americas debt.
Hard choices need to be made which neither party has the courage to make. Milton Friedman warned the country, regretfully no one was listening.
